The sentiments that are promulgated at
the anarchist meetings that are being held
in some of our larger cities, are evidence that
the work of Kidding the country OF their
pestiferous presence cannot be begun any
too soon nor carried out any too thoroughly.
That America should be made house of
refuge for the scum of the old world, men
whose lives would not be worth q rush in
their native land if they were TO advocate
their damnable doctrines there as they do
here, is not only disgrace, bat is an abso-
lutte danger to our free institutions. Such
followers of the red rag as have already
landed on our shores should be gotten rid of
as fast as opportunity may be presented,
even if the slow and expensive process of
a trial, conviction and punishment ut the
hands of the courts for crimes committed,
like the case of Spies co al, be the only
available method, while stringent measures
should be promptly enacted to prevent a
further increase in their numbers by addi-
tional immigration. America has no use for
anarchy and the sooner HERR MosT aud all
others of like ilk are made to understand and
comprehend this, the better it will be for the
honest people of the country, whether they
DO employers or employees, laboring men or
capitalists.

MASSACHUSETTS democrats held conven-
ton the other day, at which they eulogized
President CLEVELAND and his administration
III the most glowing terms, congratulating
themselves that "the rights of every citizen
under the national laws are sacredy MAIN
tanned, without regard TO race, creed or
color" which sounds very pretty and which
would be a fine thing for the prosperity of
the country if it were true. They return
their thanks TO the president for his adher
ence to his ante-election pledges meaning
We suppose, his promises in regard to the
civil service, one term in Office, etc, etc. In
view of the rapidity with which the public
public spoils have been distributed to good
democrats and the frantic efforts Mr., CLEvE-
LAND is making to become his own successor,
il would almost seem as though these Massa-
chusetts democrats were INDUCING in dis
play of irony at the expense of the president.
After thus commanding Mr.. CLEVELAND for
his so-caled fulhllment of his promises, the
convention proceeded to deal the mugwumps
a vigorous slap in the face by congratuating
the president on his practice, as opposed to
his precepts. Witness the following: 1--WE
believe that no officer should be retained in
the public service who has shown himself
an offensive partisan and we think sense
of proprlety TO the administration, of which
they are a part, requires federal Office holders
representing the administration III this state
TO discharge from public service any of their
subordinates against whom the charge of
offensive partisanship can be maintained"
And Mr.. CLEVELAND, as shown through the
entire course of his administration heartily
agrees with his hackers in the Old Bay State.
Offensive craftsmanship" is a democratic
phrase for which Mr.. CLEVELAND himself is
responsible, and to him we must look for a
definition of the term as it is understood by
its author and by the party he represents. 1t
is not difficult matter to find a clear cut
administrative definition of the expression. 1t
means republicanism, only this and nothing
more Substituting this definition of the
term, we find that the Massachusetts demo-
Gratis believe that any ofice-holder against
whom the charge Of republicanism can be
made and substantiated should be promptly
removed, and this is exactly what their reso-
lutions mean. A democrat has never been
regarded by democrats or by Mr. CLEVELAND
as an offensive partisan, neither indeed could
such be the case, because democrat cannot
fall within the democratic definition of the
phrase. Massachusetts, mugwumps must feel
highly hattered by the civil service doctrines
of their democratic allies.

HERE is one feature of the Jurisprudence
of Michigan that calls loudly for reformation.
We mean the statute allowing appeals from
justice courts to the circuit courts. To illus
trate, we cite the case of WINsLow SYLVESTER
against ASA III. CURTIS, which was disposed
OF in our circuit last week, and at the close
OF which Judge Mills warmly commended
the jury for their verdict and took occasion
TO severely condemn the practice of petty
appeals. The case was an action brought by
the plaintiff for work and labor performed
by him for the defendant, the latter not
denying his Indebtedness, and not making
any tender of the amount he acknowledged
himself to owe to the plaintiff, but claiming
larger offset than the defendant was willing
to admit, and disputing the number of days
labor alleged to have been performed and
also denying the alleged contract price. The
justice before whom the cause was tried gave
judgment in favor of the plaintiff of $40.57
damages and costs. The defendant, against
the advice of his counsel insisted on an
appeal to the circuit, as under the statute he
had legal right to do. The jury before
which the case was there tried rendered q
verdict in favor of the plaintiff of $3.50. a
reduction of $l.67 from the judgment of the
lower court To obtain this trifiing reduc-
ton and to crafty his feeling against the
plaintiff, Mr.. CURTIS must pay the costs of
the trial in the circuit as we'll as his own at
torneys, the amount of which will probably
approximate hundred dollars. If this were
all, the matter would not be SO Objectionable,
as every trivial and unfounded appeal would
carry with it its own punishment in the
shape of additional costs. But il is the
people who are made to suffer by being put
TO the expense of furnishing courts and
juries for the purpose of deciding such petty
disputes. 1t costs something like seventy
five dollars per day to run the court, and the
case above cited occupied the time of the
court part of one day and all of the succeeding
one, costing the people more than double the
amount involved in the suit Such appeals
and they are not at all uncommon-are an
unwarranted tax upon the people and should
not be permitted. The statute might easily
be amended so as TO protect the rights of
litigants and yet prevent such needless ex.
pense. Should any serious legal question
arise in the trial of such cases in justice
court, provision could be made for certifying
it to the circuit, where the judge could pass
upon it and either confirm the Judgment of
the lower court or order re-trial, as his
decision on such question of law might re-
quire Such course would be comparative
IL inexpensive and the rights of suitors be
amply protected. The right TO a general
appeal should DO limited by the amount
involved in the suit.

THE TUCKER BILL.

Congress convened to-day after its
holding recess. II is probable that some
action will be taken upon the Tucker bill
at an early date, perhaps before the end
ing OF the present week. The present
condition of the bill is favorable for its
early consideration. Mr.. Tucker made q
motion to have a day designated when it
should be taken up by the House. The
motion was referred, as is customary in
such cases, to the Committee on Rules.
All of the members of the committee
with the exception of Mr.. Randall, are
favorable to the bill. This will, OF course,
insure favorable report upon Mr.. Tuck
er's motion. Once before the House,
there is scarcely a question of its passage
by nearly, if not quite, a two-thirds ma
jority. If an early day is fixed for its
consideration in the House, there will be
ample time to insure action upon it in
the Senate, where its supporters have
also good working majority. The
chances are decidedly favorable for the
bill becoming a law before the adjourn.

ALAS, POOR JONES!

Chairman Jones, the lugubrious head
OF the Republican National Committee,
says that every dollar OF the campaign
money received in 1884 was entered on
the books, and none OF it was spent for
lunches, which he lauds as a new de-
parture. After reading that, one may
we'll appreciate the panic in the well-fed
Republican ranks when free feed was
voluntarily given over to buy votes for
Jingo Jim. Probably the free lunch fund
went to pay for that Quixotic trip through
New York State westward We have u
lingering idea, however, that Brother

"smile" before he sealed Brother Blaine 8

THE PAROwAN CASE.

The trial of Deputy Marshal Thompson
for the killing OF Dalton has been set for
the 9th instant, at Parowan. Assistant
District Attorney G. S. Varan will con-
duct the case upon the part OF the Gov
ernment. 1t is the determination OF the
prosecuting officers, as expressed by
themselves, that there shall be full and
impartial investigation OF the case, and If
the deputy in any manner exceeded the
limit Of the law in the killing of Dalton
he will be prosecuted as vigorously
as any criminal has been by the District
Attorney or his assistants since they en-
tered upon the discharge OF their official
duties 1t is to be hoped however, that
public clamor will in no manner infu-
ence the prosecution in its action in this
matter. We are confident that it will
not. If the law and facts justified the
Deputy in resorting to such an extreme
measure to prevent the escape OF
the prisoner, it will be the duty
OF the District Attorney, in the
interest OF justice, to vindicate the
officer by entering a Rolle prosequ in the
case. 1t is certainly not the province OF
representative OF the Federal Govern
ment to discourage the enforcement OF
the national laws by seeking to secure
the conviction OF an officer for discharging
his duty, no matter how much pressure
may be brought to bear against him by
those in sympathy with the offense com
mitted by the man whose death resulted
from the unfortunate affair All right
thinking persons, Gentiles and Mormons
expect the Court and prosecuting officers
to do their duty in this matter; to
see that the law is indicated and
if any legal offense has been
committed by the deputy that he shoult
be made to suffer the penalty. 1t is no
expected, however, that he shall b,
viciously prosecuted for an act com
mitted in the discharge of his duty i
such act was not in violation OF the Law
which he was attempting to enforce.

Funeral of Mrs. Cynthia merriII.

The funeral of Mrs. Cynthia M, widow of the late Daniel Merrill, took place yesterday afternoon from her late residence, 294 Elm street, and was largely attended. The Rev. Dr. Harwood, rector of Trinity church, off ciated. The bearers were: Messrs. John P. Futile, John B. Adrianee, J. M. D. Hen- dricks, James M. Mason, Henry Baldwin and Elisha Blackman. The floral tributes were an elegant pair of palm leaves and 8 very handsome wreath of roses and pinks. The casket was of black cloth, silver mountings. Mir. 0. A. Hemingway had charge of the fu- neral. The interment was in the Grove street cemetery.
 The estate left by the deceased is generally estimated. at $100,000. Some place it as high as a quarter of 8 million, but that sum is probably overestimated. The interest over the disposition of the property continues, and reports are current that either Trinity or Christ churches will get share of it.. Deceased leaves no children, but leaves three sisters. The late MT. Merrill was her second husband. He was for many years a grocer on Broadway and left his widow considera. ble property, chiefly in real estate in the Broadway section. Mrs. Merrill owned @ brick block on Elm street next door to the old Merrill homestead near Park. She also owned the house corner of Whalley avenue and Sperry street, where the drug store is, and two other houses adjoining, and various other real estate,

What Is Going On In Base Ball Cir cles.
 The Haverhills have disbanded.
 Kelly has not been deposed as captain of the Bostons.
 When Harry Wright left Boston after the last visit of his club he said that the Phillies would beat the Bostons out, and he was of seven games. The Phillies seem in good way to make good the prediction.
 The "Phillies' have one tie game with New York to play off, but no date has been ar ranged to play it off. A postponed game with Indianapolis will be played off on Sep tember 15, but there is no open date to play off postponed game with Washington.
 Buffalo will very reluctantly release Grant, their colored second baseman. He Is mcd- est fellow and a heavy batter. In Saturday s game against the Torontos he went to the bat four times and made three hits, two home runs and triple and got base on balls.
 On Wednesday Roger Connor made the longest hit ever made on the New York polo grounds. He already had that distinction, but the hit on Wednesday was still longer, the ball going over the fence very near center field, and not stopping until it rolled against a house on One Hundred and Fourteenth street. The polo grounds are on One Hun dred and Tenth street.
 Titcomb and Murphy, New York's new battery, were tried in the exhibition game Wednesday. They made favorable impress sion. Murphy is nearly. and many say he is, the equal of ''Buck" Ewing behind the bat. The saying is unanimous, however, that there is but one better thrower to bases in the league than Murphy, and that is Ewing. On Wednesday an Indianapolis player got a lead of twenty feet from first base but he was thrown out by Murphy. Titeemb struck out eleven men. But four safe and two ''phan- tom" hits were made off him. How sorry Harry Wright must be that he did not keep these players.

Shall We Eat Rusat OF Nota

Everybody will tell you now in this season of summer that you ought not to eat so much meat. "Try the vegetarian diet," they say. We'll, we have tried the vegetarian diet until we are sick of it. It is hard to get in Ameri- ca and it is costly. And we believe anyway that man is carnivorous to certain degree. Still, vegetables ought to be eaten in their season. The only trouble is one is apt to get at hotels and restaurants only such vegetables as have lain in the sun and turned a ''cholera green" Of course there is risk in eating such food. Better protect yourself as well as possible by having always within reach some Brandreth's Pills. A dose of three to ten, according to your bulk, will generally act as preventive against all diseases aris- ing from eating impure food.
